Sources are saying that tens of thousands of pages of testimony and records to back them have been archived in preparation for possible lawsuits, criminal charges, and impeachment processes.
The archiving has been and is being done to be sure the targets, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and others cannot cover their tracks or enlist others to cover for them. Some say this goes back to mid 2002 when some suspected Bush had personal reasons rather than the country at heart for proposing an attack on Iraq.
Bush had been quoted at the time as saying, "Ronald Reagan has proven that running the country in a deficit is not harmful ..." to justify his pillaging of the treasury to support war and award no bid contracts to Halliburton, Brown and Root, and others. This was a telling statement and subsequently Bush went on to create the country's largest ever debt while squandering our first ever period of debt free living.
While the initial gathering of evidence was begun by disgusted Democrats, the cause was soon aided by Republicans who saw Bush as a threat to the longevity of the GOP.
Where this will go is anybody's guess since Bush and friends are now busily rebuilding the legal system to apparently protect themselves once out of office. Calls have been made from the floor to fire Bush's hand picked Attorney General, Alberto Gonzalez due to suspicious firings of 8 Federal judges deemed not in the Bush school of thought.
